Dr. Morgan Cutlip is a mother of two, married to her high school sweetheart, and she has worked in the field of relationship education for over 15 years alongside her father, Dr. John Van Epp, who is the founder of Love Thinks and developer of multiple relationship education courses that have been taught to over a million people worldwide. She is “on a mission to help women feel empowered in all of their relationships so that they feel whole, light, and deeply connected to those they love.”

Her new book, A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment and Great Sex, where she helps couples view the mental load—the endless and mostly invisible work of managing a household and family—as a shared enemy to conquer versus a problem they have with each other, offering practical solutions for navigating the most common pain points couples struggle with. She offers practical advice that goes beyond getting your spouse to pick up the slack and focuses on the unique perspectives and experiences of each partner, enabling both of you to feel seen and heard. She helps you leave behind resentment and anxiety and begin to:

* Understand why the mental load primarily falls on women and how it impacts sexual desire

* Share perspectives, expectations, ownership, and accountability

* Use actionable plans for divvying up tasks and teaching the next generation how to share the mental load

Through research and stories based on real couples, A Better Share guides you out of the endless stress and resentment cycle and into a relationship where sharing is caring, having fun together is a priority, and great sex isn't a thing of the past.
